Ricky Signs Retirement Papers

[UncleJamFinFan]

Time to move on boys & girls...
----------------------------------
Running back Ricky Williams, who informed the Miami Dolphins last month that he was retiring, has filed the necessary paperwork with the NFL Management Council. The filing will mean that he cannot play this season if he chooses to return to football.


David Cornwell, general counsel to sports agent Leigh Steinberg, filed Williams' retirement papers late last week with the NFL Management Council. It was necessary for Williams to file such papers because he was in the NFL substance-abuse program. He filed as a way to tell the league officially that he no longer would be subject to random drug testing.

Under league rules, if a player in its substance-abuse program files retirement papers, he cannot unretire for a year without penalty. If he unretires in less than a year, it's counted as a positive drug test in the NFL program -- which, in Williams' case, would be his fourth positive test and would result in an indefinite suspension. If Williams unretires after a year, he still would be facing a four-game suspension, having now, according to him, recently tested positive for marijuana for a third time under the NFL's testing program. A third positive test brings with it a mandatory four-game suspension.

Not possible THIS year. Coming back means another failed drug test since he signed the papers. Which would be Ricky's 4th. Which means a 1 year suspension. No Ricky in 2004! Not possible!

I think this goes to show you that you can not put all you eggs in one basket. Especially if they are cracked up eggs. This guy beats all i have ever seen. Just the thought of his dumb a@## makes me angry. Enjoy you money pothead most of us will rejoice at your arrest,cause it will be sooner or later. Then you can join Cecil and underwood as failed Miami players.
